IMPROVEMENT IN CUFF-SUPPORTERS.

The Schedule referred to in these Letters ljatent and making part of thesame I, THOMAS CoGsWELL, of Boston, in the State of Massachusetts dohereby declare that the following description an accompanying drawingsis an accurate and completevspecification of my invention oi' anIniproved Cuff-Holder.

This invention is intended to support upon the arm false cuffs orwristbands.

It consists in arranging la. slotted metallic frame upon an elasticband, so that the band shall be readily adjustable to the size of thearm, and in combining therewith a 'fiat spiral clip, of thefform andfunction described in an application by me for Letters Patent nowpending in the United States Patent Office.

In the drawings- Figure 1 is a perspective of the'apparatus.

Figure 2 is a plan-of the frame.

Figure 3 is a section ot' the clip.

A. is the clip. 1t is a at spiral of three limbs, the 'ont limb beingformed'with an ogee curve on its face.

B is the frame. It is a rectangular piece of metal, having a slot, d e,near each end, and the centerl e11- tirely cut away. In other words itis a rectangular frame, crossed by two bars, as shown at q 71.

On one end of these bars, say g, are raised two teeth ff.

Upon this frarne is mounted clip A, and the elast-ic `band is adjustedby fastening the band on the teeth f, reeving it over bar g, downwardand outward through slot d, then upward and inward through the center i,then backward over bar h, and downward `and outward through slot e.

This adjustment allows the. band to be loosened or tightened at will.

The teeth f f may be omitted, and the left-hand end of the band in fig.1 maybe rove, as is the righthand end.

This method of mounting the clip A upon band O presents the advantages-First, that the band is adjustable in length.

Second, that the clip is not weakened by cutting.

Third, that it is very simple and easy of construction, and quitedurable.

I claim as my invent-ion and Letters Patent- 'lhe arrangement upon frameB, slotted as described, of clip A, formed as described, when furtherarranged with adjustable elastic band C, al1 substantially as described,and for the purpose stated.

THOS. OOGSXVELL.
